For the past few months a microsoft security emblem has shown up on certain programs or applications on my computer. (Old or New Downloads) It's like they get to select the settings for whatever program it is. I'm not real sure of that but I don't want it there anymore. Can someone please tell me what this is, why this is and how do I remove it?
